what kind of money do the buybacks give?

I do not know. But I am guessing that you are not going to see a lot of Ed Browns, Wilson Combat, or Les Baer guns turn up over there.

King County, WA just approved the creation of a permanent "gun buyback" facility. I understand that there are folks out there who inherit some old gun or are left with a broken clunker and don't know how to dispose of it. What I don't get is how they're so lazy they refuse to just take it to a pawn shop and actually get some money for it. Even the sleaziest pawnbroker will give you more than a $50 gift card for an old handgun.

They don't want them going into someone else's hands. They've been brainwashed by the socialists in believing removing them to be destroyed is something they can do for their own gun control.

Permanent means another group of government welfare bureaucrats taking more tax dollars.
Imagine working at a permanent facility. Earning good money to sit there and maybe interact with 1 person per week.

Don’t know if this is true, but sure would be funny if it is….$9300 worth of funny!!

So,
With this "Gun Buy Back", are they admitting that they provided the firearms to these people in the first place?

After all, if they're "Buying Them Back", then they provided them in the first place.

Right?

Correct, they word it as though they once previously owned them and now they're taking them back....NOT!!!!

Probably comes with a t-shirt, bumper sticker, and yard sign. All necessary props for world class virtue signaling.

"Gun violence the leading cause of death among children." That should read - gun violence the leading cause of death among teen age gang bangers and drug gang members. Hooey.

 

[MisterMills357]

I got a laugh out of this part:

I suppose that's one way to get a discount on a gun.

That’s my kind of guy, and I would have walked the line of cars myself, if I was there.

 

[MisterMills357]

I thought background checks and 4473s were needed to buy guns.

If you are buying them from a licensed dealer, then the ATF gets the record of sale.
But if you are buying from an individual, there is no paperwork involved. Unless you want a receipt of sale.

That must make the left leaners go nuts.

PS: You need to keep in mind that it might be stolen though. There is a hot underground market for that.

"One Safe Houston, which leverages about $53 million in federal relief funds to reduce violent crime" IOW they are using our tax dollars for this sham

 

[Turbomunkey89]

Looks like a lot of those gun were 3d printed. Probably non-functioning.

I have seen instances where a person cobbled together some non functioning, laughable excuses for firearms and turned them over for money. People have to take this stuff with a grain of salt. Most of those guns are non functioning, fake, or off brand crap. Do they want my old cross man air rifle my dad curb stomped and broke after he found out I was plinking birds, cause I’ll sell them that scrap for 75 bucks

They did one of these in Austin years ago. They were giving $100 gift cards to a Texas grocery chain ( HEB ). A bunch of us were intercepting the people bringing guns to be bought back & offering $110 cash. I scored a brand new Mossberg 500 for $110. When I was walking it back to my car, a cop ( part of the buy back ) gave me a thumbs up.

It will just go away.

Massive turnout for gun buyback event in Third Ward surprises city officials (msn.com)

Yes, it is dumb. But what do you expect? With the influx of job seekers from Democratic states during the past 25 years, the idiots have elected Democrats to run the city and county.

 

[Sausha]

Their guns their choice.

I can't help but think the vast majority of these gun's don't function at all.

Certainly not what you would want to trust your life with. Gun buyback grade.

 

[lsjones]

I have a broken hand me down single shot .410 that I would be afraid to shoot. I should go to one of those buy backs and use the money for a down payment on a new gun.
